Considering Liposuction? These 5 Non-Invasive Alternatives May Be Right for You

For years, liposuction has been the gold standard in San Diego for eliminating pockets of stubborn fat that persist even when you eat right, exercise regularly, and are at an optimal weight. It has been the ideal body sculpting treatment for fat that still clings to your waist, hips, or thighs like you cling to your favorite pair of jeans.

However, as effective as liposuction or liposculpture is for body sculpting, and performing hundreds of liposuction procedures a year in our office, it’s a surgical procedure that requires a period of recovery time, which can turn off many of those who are looking for an effective liposuction alternative treatment for reducing fat. If you’re part of this group, you’re in luck – at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, experts are proud to offer liposuction alternatives in San Diego that can eliminate your troublesome fat and help you get a shapely, desirable body without traditional surgery or an extended downtime.

5 Non-Surgical Fat Reduction Alternatives

These five liposculpture alternative options are popular not only because they are less invasive and less painful, but also because they are effective body sculpting procedures that get results.

1. Kybella

Kybella is the first FDA-approved treatment for double chins, which is welcome news for anyone having little or no success with other liposuction alternative treatments for this condition.

At Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, we were at the forefront of this treatment’s clinical testing before it hit the market, so, not only do we offer this groundbreaking alternative body sculpting treatment, we also have the experience and skill you need to get the results you desire.

Through the use of deoxycholic acid, Kybella destroys the targeted fat under your chin, which breaks into microscopic particles that are then flushed from your body naturally. It’s a quick liposuction alternative procedure that may take several visits to get an ideal result with minimal swelling after the injections.

If you have a double chin caused by excess submental fat and not by loose, saggy skin, this could be the non-surgical liposuction alternative treatment that works for you.

2. Ulthera

Ulthera, often referred to as Ultherapy, is an ideal non-invasive liposuction alternative, and Cosmetic Laser Dermatology was among the country’s first dermatology centers to offer this treatment to patients. It uses sound wave technology to gently tighten and lift the skin without causing negative side effects.

Ulthera is an ideal therapy for sculpting your face and neck, and it also offers the skin rejuvenating effects of ramping up your body’s collagen production. There are no incisions necessary, yet Ulthera targets your skin’s support system to tone your skin and achieve natural looking results. No one will know you had body sculpting treatment until you let loose your secret!

Ulthera targets unwanted fat in the following areas:

• Brow
• Chin
• Neck
• Face
• Décolletage (chest)
• Thighs
• Buttock

3. CoolSculpting

The catchy phrase “freeze the fat” applies to this innovative, FDA-approved, non-surgical body sculpting treatment. The medical technique is called cryolipolysis, which is a process of freezing unwanted fat cells until they crystallize and shatter. There is no downtime, and as your body absorbs and then flushes out the remaining microscopic fat cells, it is transformed by a natural-looking, gradual fat loss that is noticeable in three to four months.

CoolSculpting is specifically designed to eliminate and permanently destroy stubborn pockets of fat that are hard to lose no matter how much you diet or exercise. Because your skin freezes at a lower temperature than is required to destroy fat, this freezing technology never reaches temperatures that harm your skin. And all of this is accomplished without invasive surgery!

The most common areas we treat with CoolSculpting are the following:

• Belly fat
• Love handles
• Back fat
• Upper arms
• Thighs
• Bra fat

4. Vanquish

A new treatment using advanced technology, Vanquish is an innovative body sculpting therapy designed to attack and kill undesirable fat cells on your waist and stomach. Through the use of radiofrequency, it targets fatty areas with a contact-less device that uses thermal energy to penetrate deep and destroy troublesome fat cells. The shattered fat cells are absorbed and then disposed of by your body.

Since the device never touches your skin, you don’t suffer burns or any resulting scars. You’ll feel the heat but not pain as the targeted area is treated over the course of a 45-minute session. Vanquish can also be combined with other body sculpting procedures for even more effective results.

Common areas we treat with Vanquish include:

• Belly fat
• Love handles
• Back fat
• Upper arms
• Thighs

5. Exilis

Exilis is an FDA-approved liposuction alternative procedure that combines radiofrequency technology and oscillating mechanical waves to target fatty deposits on your belly, arms, and thighs, as well as around your chin and neck.

With Exilis, unsightly stubborn fat shrinks and melts away with such precision that your surrounding skin and tissue are untouched and unharmed. With few side effects and virtually no downtime, you will start to notice impressive results in about two to three months.

Keep in mind that Exilis is not designed to eliminate large pockets of fat, just moderate amounts of fat that you can’t get rid of simply with diet and exercise.

Exilis is effective at treating the following areas:

• Belly fat
• Love handles
• Back fat
• Upper arms
• Chin and jowls
• Knees
